Florio fans whatever flames promote clicks.
Hub Arkush said Boomer is a bad guy and a big jerk among Podcasters.

And he was all over it. First follow up I saw. His lead in.
Hub Arkush may have some company in the Aaron Rodgers “absolute bum” category. (I’ve been there for about a decade. You get used to it.)

This reminds me of a bit a local morning radio show did one morning.
They had a guy on who could do a spot-on Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think the premise was Arnold had written a new book, and was beginning to promote it.
Anyway, they decided to start calling people, with Walter Cronkite being the first (at 6:30AM!), and eventually worked their way to one of the national morning TV shows where they actually got put on air.
By the time the next commercial break was scheduled, they were beginning to realize they had been pranked.
Packers Preview on the Packers Radio Network could be interesting as Hub Arkush is a regular pre-game contributor with a 5 - 10 minute slot with chit chat between Dennis Krause and James Jones and a few others. Arkush is full of differential respect for James Jones and in turn James is an absolute Rodgers fan. Will be interesting to see how this goes and what sort of a reception the Packers radio hosts have for Arkush.
Out of all this I’m convinced Flynn told Rodgers only backups are capable of 6 TDs vs Detroit and Love should start.

Certainly in poor taste, this was the ultimate prank,=.

An all time great. If you can’t laugh at that you don’t have a sense of humor.
I still have my “we’ll never forget you Brent” t shirt.

Don't know what they are paying this guy but he's worth every penny even if he never plays a meaningful down as a Packer.
so did anybody hear if Hub was on the pregame show yesterday? Hopefully they fired him from his spot and called him a bum.
He was a no show. No mention of him at all by the Packers People. No mention of his comments either - a complete body swerve by Dennis Krause et. al. .

I watched Pro Football Weekly, which I hardly ever watch because it's pretty much garbage. I just wanted to see if they would bring it up and surprisingly they did.
He went on about a 5 minute talk that was mostly apology but also some lame justification. One of the guys (I think Hampton) straight up asked him if he should just be voting based on play on the field. Hub had the idiotic reply that if he was voting just on statistics that the vote should go to Brady because better stats. Sure, Hub. Just look at yards and TD's. Ignore the number of pass attempts, yards per attempt, TD % and TD/INT ratio.
He's a twat.

“The grass is greener where you water it,” Rodgers told Schein
Some speculation that an extension is already agreed to in principle and they will wait until after the season to finalize the details.

I've heard this is the case, too. But I need to hear it from Boomer before I believe it's true.
Is there a league rule that does not allow signings at this time? If not, why wouldn’t they announce it? Seems to me the less talk about an agreement is better for all involved.
They probably don't want to be accused of tampering by Bum or Florio.
Time for some reminiscing.
Some blast from the past posters in these threads, as well as some interesting and eerily parallel (or contrary) opinions to today - for those still around.

Will Love be Rodgers? At this time, and based on what many of us opined in '05-'07, we haven't a clue.

I wonder if anyone ever woke up Mr. Bartkowski?

Can't even fricken imagine what Aaron Rodgers' schedule looks like right now. Trying to get ready for the divisional round, rehabbing a broken toe, and finding replacements for Nagy/Pace simultaneously is some serious triple shifting. Don't know how he does it.

a) Rodgers is already under contract for 2022
b) both sides know if he plays '22 for the current contract, he's doing so mostly alone
c) "The organization and I, the conversations we've had, we're in a way different place than we've ever been & I'm really appreciative of Brian, him & I coming together & finding common grounds & having great conversations."
d) so, "agreed to in principle", means they have agreed to make it work

Always scary for me to read these types of threads. I say some stupid shit.
My posts were taken out of context.

Wow, some of the old member names in those threads!
@PackerHawk posted:Aren't you one of the oldest members?
Good ?
I may be the oldest GB native.
I can't help but feel that AR and DA are sort of a package deal in GB. It's hard to imagine DA coming back (unless the money is completely ridiculous) if AR is gone. If DA leaves, AR has very little in terms of top end WR talent.
Agree.. and weather or not the Packers can afford Adams depends on if Rodgers will take a team friendly deal.
It's time for an honest conversation. Gute needs to tell him, we want you and all your boys, but there is only so much bread. If you are willing to give a large portion of your share, we will be able to bring back Adam and Cobb. Lewis is signed for 2022 already. Bahk and Jones are signed long term. All your homies Aaron, just spread the wealth and it all works out.
